Raw ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data from the Ross Sea acquired during R/V Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP0801 (2008)

This data set was acquired with a ship-based Kongsberg EM120 Multibeam Sonar system during Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP0801 conducted in 2008 (Chief Scientist: Dr. David Caron). These data files are of MBSystem Compatible format and include Acoustic Backscatter, Swath Bathymetry, and Sidescan data that have not been processed. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Cape Adare Long-term Mooring (CALM) and Collaborative Research:Do crustacean zooplankton play a pivotal role in structuring heterotrophic plankton communities., and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): ANT05-38148 and ANT05-42456.

本数据集由船载康斯伯格（Kongsberg）EM120型多波束声呐系统采集，采集工作依托2008年开展的“纳撒尼尔·B·帕尔默”号（Nathaniel B. Palmer）科考航次NBP0801完成，首席科学家为大卫·卡伦（David Caron）博士。本数据集文件采用兼容MBsystem的格式，包含未经处理的声学反向散射数据、条带测深数据与侧扫数据。本次数据采集隶属于以下两项项目：阿代尔角长期锚系（Cape Adare Long-term Mooring, CALM）以及合作研究项目“甲壳类浮游动物是否在异养浮游生物群落结构构建中发挥关键作用”。本研究获得美国国家科学基金会（National Science Foundation, NSF）ANT05-38148与ANT05-42456两项基金资助。
